Handrails have been added to the ongoing ferryboat dock expansion just outside of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.

Magic Kingdom Ferryboat Dock Expansion

When we stopped by the area on Wednesday, October 14, we noticed that handrails in a muted green color were installed near the edge of the wooden boards, which were installed last month.

The photos above show what the area looked like before and after the handrails were installed.

Last month, timber pilings were cut and installed along the outer edge of the expansion. The pilings were further cut down, and boards were installed, creating a surface.

Disney filed a permit for the dock project in February, and the state’s water management district approved it in March. The expansion follows the 2021 installation of second-level ferryboat ramps, which allow guests to unload from both decks more quickly.

Disney is currently constructing a fourth ferryboat to join the Magic Kingdom fleet. Named in honor of former Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton, it is under construction backstage.

Check out more construction and refurbishments happening at Magic Kingdom, including Piston Peak National Park and Carousel of Progress, which is currently closed until Spring 2027.
